His name was johann or iota and as you can imagine, I was understandably intrigued.

偶然にも、小学校に住んでいる男性と出逢いました

I stopped for coffee and he asked me if I'd like to hang out for a day.

彼の名前は、ヨウヘイ

I took him up on it.

ニックネームは「ヨウちゃん」

He shared his story with me and I in turn shared it with everybody else.

そして、彼にとても興味をもちました

The story of a man who cast off the shackles of his 9 to 5 in the city to live a life based in the simplicity of chasing his passions.

（カフェで）コーヒーを1杯いただく予定でしたが

A man who many see is quite possibly one of the most fortunate people on earth.

嬉しいことに、ヨウちゃんは 1日時間を一緒に過ごさないかと言ってくれたので

If you haven't watched that one yet, pause right here and go give that one to watch first.

「是非」と返しました

It'll give much needed context and hopefully make this video a lot more fun.

そして彼のシェアしてくれたストーリーを

But at the end of our very brief time together there were still so many unanswered questions like how did he live there?

皆さんともシェアしました

Was it expensive?

街中でのサラリーマンの生活を捨て

What exactly is his job?

シンプルに情熱を追い求めた、一人の男性のストーリー

How did kids get to a school that was buried in the mountains?

たくさんの人が言うように 彼は、この地球上で最もついてる人の１人でしょう

In fact why would there even be a school buried in the mountains to begin with?

まだ前回の動画を一度もみてない人は ここで一時停止して、まずみてみてください

And the list goes on and on.

より内容もわかるし

So I went back Madison, uh huh uh, the moon, not only many person years on that, she was just now one of my biggest questions right out of the gate.

よりこの動画を楽しむことができると思います

Something I couldn't stop thinking about for the last year was why, why this location?

しかし、前回ここで過ごしたわずかな時間で

Why was there a school buried in the middle of the mountains?

私の中に浮かんできたのは…たくさんの疑問でした

This place is not what many would describe as easily accessible even by car.

例えば、彼はどうやって生活をしているのか？

The roads are narrow, there are almost no major towns nearby at best a few houses and villages scattered in the nearby mountains.

生活費は高いのか？

So why here?

仕事は何をしているの？

Oh no, you're quite a you already.

この秘境の山に囲まれた小学校へ子供たちは、どうやって通っていたのか？

Yeah you got no uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh okay so let me uh just say any uh go out the goal uh mobile.

So they started to go there there.

前回、校門から出て帰路へついてから

Did you get, no, this is your giggle not uh joe going up.

常に頭の中でぐるぐるしていたのは

Yeah, technically got caught up in it.

「なぜ？」

Yeah, no, so they got to know.

なぜ、この場所に住もうと思ったの？

Yeah, no idea what you want Scotland, do you know?

なぜ、この秘境の地に学校があるの？

Yeah, yeah, no more uh you know just out there.

車を使っても、お世辞にも「通いやすい」とは言えません

So so how in the world does biotin live here?

道は狭いし

Did he just rock up one day and called dibs really loudly.

近くに大きい街もありません

How is there even power to a once abandoned elementary school?

あるとしても、ごく少数の家や村が山の中に点々とあるのみ

And considering that he is hours round trip from the closest supermarket.

じゃあ、「なぜ」ここなのか？

How did he even get food?

この道、長いこと使われていない感じですね

Mhm.

そうですね

Yemen, what's wrong?

では、ヨウちゃんは、どうやってこの場所に住むことができたのでしょう？

Yeah, we'll take those.

ある日、突然ここまで登ってきて

So no, certainly not a supermarket them out there more from corona.

「ここ俺の場所！」って、叫んだのでしょうか（笑）

Uh uh a company, you know tight only local supermarket and eat their so called context there.

それに廃校に電気が、通っていたのでしょうか

Oh that's good.

最寄りのスーパーまで往復１時間以上かかるのに

So you will, I know you must get a I got more you don't not know human consciousness.

毎日の食事はどうしているのでしょうか

The party for you get your uh you know your Mama area there.

ここに住むのは普通より安いとは言うものの...

So you more soon than Akitaka uh you know to get your uh more 10 times up there.

カフェ、音楽スタジオなど他にも様々なスペースが広がり

They don't know Akita Bank Temples.

そのための機器や設備がたくさんあります

The system about so you have a serious to take your stage two.

そして、それらは決して「安い」とは言えないようなものも

Uh do you know your system artists the music city so you know I could be there so that you see do not go there.

確かに、彼はホステルを経営しています

Uh Oh Makukula high quality starts to stay high quality chantal's so you do the market there you know so that you're still so you might want to start uh 60 million to do you know the Internet so Monaco no take account of car and or called the uh no.

しかし、ホステル側からの収入はそこまでないと彼も言っています

Uh uh huh.

何より、私がいるときに彼がすることと言えば コーヒー豆を炒る、コーヒーを淹れる、音楽をたのしむこと...

So now that you are, you know what's got there.

ここでやはり「彼の実際の仕事はなんなのか？」という疑問が残ります

The coast guard on the island of us have or trampled criminal could go it's good that is there.

そこで、何をどうすればこのライフスタイルで生活できるのか 可能な範囲で、もう少し詳しく聞いてみました

Yeochan school is filled with music gear coffee year and everything alike most of which is not exactly cheap now he does run the place as a hostile but by his own admission doesn't drive a lot of money from that side of things.

And the only things I've ever actually seen him do our roast coffee, make coffee and play music.

So the question hangs in the air of what exactly does he do for work?

I asked him if he wouldn't mind sharing a bit of insight into how he can afford this lifestyle and furthermore with a school secluded in the mountains.

Does he worry at all about thieves or security?

Mhm imma not like Hussein, whoa And no my energy coming out tonight.
